The cold brew coffee industry is exploding with new products daily. While you may love the added smooth flavor and left out acidity that results from not exposing beans to high temperature, the price tag may be less pleasing. Enter Arbor Fabricating to help you to do it yourself!

We aren't coffee experts, but we talk to many of them who have requested this and similar products. Here are some general guidelines for using. Keep in mind that personal taste will allow for significant variation of these guidelines:

--Use a 1:4 ratio of coffee grounds to water; 1 gallon of water to 1 pound of coffee for concentrated batches--A coarse grind is preferable; grinding your grounds to fine may actually heat them up creating the very astringent flavors that the cold brewed process eliminates--Much like with brewing beer the minerals in your water will affect your coffees flavor. Consider using water from different sources to discover what works best for you.--12 to 15 hours at room temperature or in the fridge seems to be a good steeping time, but we have heard some folks steep for up to 24 hours--Your coffee should last in the fridge for 2-3 weeks
